Said wasteline may be concealed back of a partition wall is composed of a seriesof sections 3, one end 1 or within. a utility space above therfioor, ofeach section being formed with a hub 4 making it accessible for,repairs, allowing to receivethe opposite end of an adjoining.

I

one'or" the waste line sectional V carrier waste 20 similar to pipe Fig.5 is a horizontal section of one of the v 55 17 is calked at one end inthe hub 12 of each section 3 and a toilet ca 'rier plate 21 is formed onthe other end of said pipe 20, which pipe extends through the wall 22 ofutility chamber 2 opposite the wall 18, and which carrier plate 21 iscountersunk in the outer surface of said wall 22 flush with said outersurface. The upper wall of the pipe 17 is provided with a vent openin 23ad jacent the rear of carrier plate 19 and within the chamber wall 18,in which opening is secured the lower end of a vent pipe 2st whichextends upwardly through said chamber wall to the atmosphere. 7

The upper wall of the pipe 20 is provided with a vent opening 25adjacent the rear of carrier plate 21 and within the chamber wall 22, inwhich opening is secured the lower end of a vent pipe 26, which extendsupwardly through said chamber wall to the atmosphere. The carrier plates19 and 21 are supported by supports 27 and 28 respectively which areembedded in the chamber walls 18 and 22. Eachof the supports 27 and 28comprises an internally threaded base member 29, and a sleeve 30, whichscrews at its lower end into said base memher and is internally threadedat its upper end, which ends screws onto a lug 31 depending from therear of a carrier plate 19 or 21. Each ofthe carrier plates 19 and 21 isprovided with two vertical slots 82-32 at the sides respectively of thewaste pipes of said carrier plates, which plates are provided in theirouter surfaces with recesses 33+3'3 about said slots res 'ne'ctively.

'Each carrier plate 19 and 21 is provided in its outer surface about itswaste pipe with an annular gasket groove 34 to receive a gasket 35;Bolts 36-36 extend respectively through the slots 3282 in the carrierplates 19 and 21, the heads 3636 of which. bolts engage the rear sidesof said plates, and nuts 36 36 screw on said bolts within the re cesses333 against said carrier plates, the outer surfaces of said nuts restingflush with or within the outer surfaces of said carrier plates. 7

Toilets 37 and 38 are bolted to the outer faces of the carrier plates19' and 21 respectively by the bolts 36 36 which extend through the baseflanges 38* of said toilets, there being nuts 3939 which screw on theouter ends of said bolts against said flanges, and said toilets areprovided in their rear surfaces about their outlets with annular groovesd0 in which is clamped the gasket 35 resting in the carrier grooves 35whereby leakage between the carrier plates and the toilet is prevented.

Each of the carrier plates 19 and 21 is provided with a threaded opening41-1 in the lower part thereof to receive a set screw -12 which extendsfrom the utility chamber 2 through a wall 18 or 22 of said chamber andcarrier waste pipe.

engages the base of a toilet 37 or 38 for ad justing the bases of saidtoilets inwardly or outwardly with relation to their carrier plateswhereby said toilets are properly hung on said plates.

The waste line 1 may be supported by supports 13 which rest upontheflcor of the utility chamber 2 and are formed with. sud dlcs a l ontheir upper ends in which rest said waste line. The partitions 10 pr entthe toilets on one side of the fitting from backing into the oppositetoilets on the other side of the fitting.

In the modified form of my fitting shown in Fig. 7, I provide a runningthread coup ling for coupling the inner end of the carrier waste pipes17 or 20 to the inlets 6 or 7 of the sections 8. The hubs 51 and 52 ofsaid inlets are elongated and internally threaded with right handthreads 53. One end of a coupling sleeve 55 provided with a right handrunning thread 56 screws into the threaded hub 51 or 52. and the otherend of'said sleeve is provided with a left hand thread 57 which engagesa like internal ihrea d 58 in a hub 59 on the inner end of a carrierwaste pipe 17 or 20. A nut 60 is screwed on the thread 56. In coupling acarrier waste pipe to an inlet of a waste line section 8, the sleeve 55with it's thread 56 is first screwed or run all the way into the hub ofa waste line inlet and then screwed or run out of said hub in a reversedirection so that the other end of the sleeve with its thread 57 isscrewed into thephub 59 of a The nut 60 is then screwed against the endof' the waste line hub 51 or 52. c r

The bends 61 of the carrier waste pipes 17 or 20'are of differentdegrees so that said' pipe. may be connected'to points of differentelevations of the inclined waste line 1 while maintaining the carrierplates 19 and. 21 at a uniform elevation for the uniform elevation ofthe toilets 37 and 38.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is: V

'1. A drainage fitting comprising a section of a drain pipe providedwith two inlets at one end thereof, said inlets being arranged onopposite sides of said pipe section, at an oblique angle thereto, and apartition between said inlets, said partition eX- tending longitudinallyfrom the inlet end to approximately the middle point of said pipesection, whereby drainage from one toilet is prevented from hacking intothe other and opposite toilet. Y

2'. A drainage fitting comprising a section of drain pipe provided withtwo oppositely arranged inlets near one end thereof, at oblique anglesthereto, the communicating duct of one inlet being offset substantially,in a longitudinal direction of said pipe sec tion from the communicatingduct of the other inlet, whereby drainage from one toilet is preventedfrom hacking into the other and opposite toilet.

3. A drainage fitting comprising a section of drain pipe provided Withan elongated bulge on one side thereof, two oppositely arranged inletsnear one end of said pipe section at an oblique angle thereto, one ofsaid inlets communicating With said elongated bulge, and a partition.between said inlets extending lo-ngutidinally of said pipe section so asto form parallel ducts in said pipe section and in the elongated bulgethereof, said partition extending beyond the communicating duct of oneotsaid inlets and terminating at the communicating duct of the other ofsaid inlets sothat said communicating ducts are offset substantiallyfrom each other in a longitudinal. direction of said pipe section,whereby uniformly sized ducts are provided for both inlets and drainagefrom one of two toilets connected thereto isprevented from backing intothe other and opposite toilet.
